SRU Justification:
Impact: b43 fails to function in a variety of scenarios
Fix Description:
1) b43: Workaround invalid bluetooth settings
This adds a workaround for invalid bluetooth SPROM settings on ASUS PCI cards. This will stop the microcode from poking with the BT GPIO line. This fixes data transmission on this device, as the BT GPIO line is used for something TX related on this device (probably the power amplifier or the radio). This patch was applied to mainline kernels with commit 1855ba7812dbd29
2) ssb: Fix IRQ vectors enable for early cards.
After the release of 2.6.24, an error was found in the setup for IRQ vectors in the ssb driver. This error was fixed in the mainline kernels with commit b63009b456c8d9a
3) ssb: Fix TMS low bitmask reject code.
The Ubuntu code base for Hardy Heron includes the patch from mainline that enables the usage of BCM4311 rev 2 devices. Unfortunately, a portion of a separate patch, commit c272ef4403c2717
4) ssb: Fix all-ones boardflags
In the SSB SPROM a field set to all ones means the value is not defined in the SPROM. In case of the boardflags, we need to set them to zero to avoid confusing drivers. For certain cards, leaving the flags all set to 1 will prevent the card from transmitting, as has been seen for the PCI version of a BCM4301. This patch was included in mainline kernels with commit 4503183aa32e688
